In terms of influencer photography in NYC, she not only knows the best photo shoot locations, but also how to create a captivating lifestyle story within an image.

During the shoot, Jessie is happy to share her own proven strategies for landing paid Instagram and blogger campaigns, too!

NYC Influencer Photo Shoot Packages

When you book an NYC Influencer Photo Shoot, you’ll have two package options:

Package #1: $450 per shoot

A 2-hour private NYC photo shoot with edited photos included. You can show Jessie sample images to give her a feel of the style you’d like the photos edited in. Otherwise, they will be edited to look natural and clean.

Package #2: $260 per shoot

A 2-hour private NYC photo shoot with unedited photos. You’ll supply the SD card — or purchase one from us for $10 at checkout — and we’ll give you the SD card at the end of the shoot to take home. Jessie typically shoots in RAW for the best editing capabilities, which requires an editing program like Lightroom or Photoshop; however, if you’d prefer JPG images just let her know.

When checking out, you’ll be given a few different location options, though these can easily be customized at no extra charge.

Popular Photo Shoot Locations In NYC

Jessie has been photographing influencers (and non-influencers) around NYC for over six years. Moreover, she’s a native New Yorker and local, so these suggestions are based on extensive knowledge of the destination.

That being said, if you have something else you’d like, we can customize the locations at no extra charge.

Route #1: Central Park / Upper East Side / Brooklyn Bridge. This classic itinerary showcases the best of NYC while also giving you a diverse array of shots, from gorgeous landscapes to historic architecture.

Route #2: Central Park / Upper East Side / Bushwick. A bit of classic New York; a bit of funky Brooklyn through Bushwick street art. *Only available on weekdays due to subway construction on weekends (unless you are okay with paying for a taxi/Uber from the Upper East Side to Bushwick)

Frequently Asked Questions

Not a problem! When booking your shoot, there is an option under “add ons” to add an additional hour of shooting time for $130 (unedited shoots) or $225 (edited shoots).

There is also the possibility to pay cash the day of the shoot, though note if the additional hour is not pre-booked it will be subject to availability. As in, Jessie is happy to do it as long as she isn’t pre-booked for a shoot that would overlap. 🙂

Q: Are the suggested routes fast-paced?

We’ll have plenty of time to get gorgeous shots of you in each location. That being said, if you’d like extra time in any one location on the route, such as to visit a cafe for shots, we can certainly accommodate. Just note that that means you’ll need to spend less time in another location or purchase an additional hour of shooting time.

Q: How many photos are included in my shoot?

Most two-hour NYC influencer photo shoots end with over 200 shots — many with over 300!

Q: When will I receive my photos and in what format?

You’ll receive your photos within 72 hours of the shoot ending. They’ll be sent via a downloadable digital folder. Note: If you need the photos sooner you’ll have the option to purchase a rush-order upsell at checkout.

Q: What is the best time to do the shoot?

Before noon means less crowds and usually better lighting, though you’ll get great shots no matter what time you book for.

Note that while we can shoot after 4pm during the summer, it gets dark too early in other seasons.

Q: What is the difference between the NYC Influencer Photo Shoots and your Private Photo Journeys, which also include photos?

Our NYC Photo Journeys are for tourists and locals looking to explore NYC and leave with fun photo memories to keep. Guests for this experience aren’t necessarily looking to grow an online presence, and there are no outfit changes between locations. Instead, they’re looking to preserve memories and print photos for their wall frames and photo albums.

With the NYC Influencer Photo Shoots, the focus is solely lifestyle photos. There isn’t a tour included, but instead, the goal is snapping loads of high-resolution photos that will help increase your Instagram following and engagement. Because of this, you leave with more photos and more looks.

Before noon means less crowds and usually better lighting, though you’ll get great shots no matter what time you book for.

Q: What is your cancellation policy?

Our cancellation policy is as follows:

Cancellations made at least 30 days in advance receive a 90% refund

Cancellations made between 73 hours and 29 days out from the tour departure receive a 50% refund

Cancellations made within 72 hours of the tour departure are non-refundable

Please keep in mind that guides block their schedules when a booking is made, turning away other tours to be available for yours. In order to effectively run our business while ensuring guides are always compensated, we do not provide 100% refunds.

Also keep in mind that all of our experiences are private, meaning that if you cancel we don’t have other people making up that cost, which public tours are able to do.

If you need to reschedule please email us at [email protected] and we can try to accommodate as best as we can. As long as your scheduled guide can accommodate your request, we’re happy to reschedule at no charge.

This being said, we do offer a 100% refund if a tour is canceled due to inclement weather.
